The open-plan layout creates a seamless flow from the modern kitchen to the dining area and into the spacious lounge, where a cozy wood burner sets the scene for warm evenings during cooler months. Large windows bathe the space in natural light, while a private patio invites you to savour your morning coffee or enjoy alfresco dining in the peaceful surroundings.
Upstairs, the master bedroom opens to a balcony that frames stunning views across the lake to Acacia Bay, offering a tranquil spot to start or end your day. A second bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a convenient family bathroom with a shower over the bath complete this level.
The lower level offers even more space to relax and unwind. A second living area flows out to an expansive entertainer’s deck, ideal for hosting gatherings or simply soaking up the calm. Two additional bedrooms, both with deck access, and a modern bathroom with a spacious shower provide ample space for family or guests.
Outside, the backyard is perfect for outdoor fun, with plenty of room for relaxation or entertaining across two decks and a private patio. You can also walk to the lake, which is just 2 minutes from your doorstep.

We were showing international visitors part of NZ. This was a great location, clean, well equipped, and plenty of space for us all. 2 minute walk to the Lake, lots of places to sit and take in the view.My only gripe is I think the rubbish removal could be included in the price, and some coffee pods provided for the machine.Other than that a lovely place to stay.
